Kickstarter Stomps on ‘Wild Things’ Sequel Proposal

Last month, a couple of U.K.-based illustrators introduced a Kickstarter project with the goal of raising about $40,000 to publish a sequel to the late Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are.”

The artists assured potential backers that they had sought legal advice and had been “very careful not to impinge on Mr Sendak’s copyright.”
